will it sharpen fat pencils?

Yes. The middle hole is for the fat pencils. This is a great pencil sharpener. It is first grade proof:)

Yes, it has three sharpening sizes: S, M, L. It will sharpen regular sized pencils and the commonly bigger ones used by kindergarden or first grade students. This is one of the reasons we bought it and we are happy with this product.

Nope, any regular quality sharpener will work fine. The long point sharpener is pretty cool but there is a 2 step process.

No. This is not a good sharpener. It breaks the tips off pencils frequently. You would better off with a manual sharpener

YES! You sharpen it like eyeliner pencil. Make sure you have a nice, quality sharpener, because the eyeliner is softer than a normal pencil version.

It should sharpen it without any issue. I have sharpened several pocket knives, 3" and up. Also, a few 10" kitchen knives.

Yes, as Heidi mentioned - sharpening regular pencils to clean the blade and oil from the Prismacolor pencil buildup is a plus. Awesome sharpener.

My students use it to sharpen colored pencils. Just make sure they're regular colored pencils, and not actually pastels, which are much softer and would not sharpen. I'm a teacher, and a lot of my kids have used them for colored pencils with no problem. Mine is now over a year old, and still working beautifully...

Yes as long as you don't sharpen the pencil too sharp. It has to be dull to work

The size of the sharpener only allows it to sharpen #2 pencils. I have used it to sharpen colored pencils which works as well.

I had no trouble using it with inktense pencils, although I didn't use it heavily with them. However, my sharpener only lasted a short while before one of the little plastic gears on the inside cracked, rendering the entire sharpener useless. I'd say, go ahead, but be very gentle - don't ram them into the pencil sharpener. And "clean" it periodically by sharpening graphite pencils.

I would think so. Don't buy it, though. The blades on it will wear out quickly. Our blades are to dull to sharpen pencils and we have only changed batteries once.

Yes-this sharpens the colored pencils well. Mine are not too soft- so this was not a problem at all. Not sure if you have a softer lead with your pencils-but this worked well in ours.

It does work on colored pencils but when the lead breaks off as you are sharpening, you have to shake it out otherwise it jams. I haven't had any problems.

Yes. I have sharpened Crayola colored pencils and it always works great for me!

I do not know if I already posted a reply but... I cannot really give an informed answer as I have never used this sharpener for soft art pencils. I just know that the sharpener is good, compact, has an appealing look to it but it does sharpen pencils slowly.ed

Right off the top, I would say no. But I have never tried it. I use mine to sharpen all my planner blades and it does a very good job. I keep my blades razor sharp. I have a small belt type sharpener that I use for my hedge blades.

I wouldn't try to sharpen crayons with it. I would be concerned it would clog it up. However, the hand-held sharpeners that you can find in the school-supply area work fine. Many of them come with a reservoir to hold the shavings so that you don't have to stand over a trashcan while sharpening. Hope you find what you're looking for.
